1. Proxmox Serial Port Pass Through Walls

So as much as I feel I have tried everything I obviously have not but I am at a complete brick wall now. Especially considering one works but windows does not.

Just plug the X10 Firecracker Computer Interface into your computer's serial port, and it will allow you to click on a desktop icon and bring up a virtual X10 Remote Control directly on your computer screen. And thanks to its pass-through design, it does all this without preventing you from plugging in another serial-port device! ShowMeCables offers a wide variety of DB9 (RS232) serial cables. Stock cables range from 1 to 100 feet. Custom lengths available as well. With hundreds on hand, our DB9 serial cables are ready to ship today.

Please Ubuntu gods give me some pointers.
Ubuntu running in a VM works, Nvidia-smi and external screen turns on with display manager - PERFECT
Windows 10 (or 7 also tried) continue to get error 43 whatever I do - NOT GOOD
I am a little confused as to why my Ubuntu running in a VM can operate perfectly with official NVidia windows drivers but I fail to get anywhere with windows.
I will go into in detail below (in the hope it can help others in the future as well as thought checking myself).
H/W Configuration:

• Ubuntu server 17.04
• i7700k
• Geforce 1080
• 32GB RAM
• Intel IGP

S/W Configuration:
GRUB default command line ( probably overkill )
/etc/modprobe.d/local.conf/etc/initramfs-tools/modules.conf
/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
If I check the passthrough, lspci -nnk I see they are indeed using the right driver.

Checking the kernel log, dmesg grep -i vfio
I would say that looks ideal.

VM Configuration

Hiding the VM from nvidia, all configurations have the following:
The PCIE passthrough part:
For Ubuntu VM I am running UEFI and the GPU is passed through, confirmed with NVidia-smi.
If I want to do it via Qemu command line with novga then I run the following:

Onto Windows, I cannot for the life of me get windows to not give an error 43.
I have tried

• various Bios and UEFI configurations of both Q35 and I440FX
• the hiding configuration above
• various NVidia drivers (if anyone has a tip for one that works please let me know)
• Enabling MSI for the devices in windows via the registry (only the HD audio device gets a negative IRQ the card stays yellow)

Here is my full windows config:

I really appreciate any help with this. thanks

Hello,

I am wondering if it is possible to run FreeNAS on Proxmox with the disks passed through to the FreeNAS vm (similar to RDM)?

I currently run a similar set up with OMV, however, I like the look of some of the features that ZFS gives me.

My host does not support vt-D and I do not have a HBA, otherwise I would do it properly.

The other possibility is running my router on a separate box (old i5 with 6GB of ram), however, I would still like to run a Windows DC, which from my understanding I cannot run on FreeNAS. Other than Windows, it sounds like most if not all of my other services can run in jails (similar to containers in Proxmox?).

There is a possibility I might be able to run FreeNAS on my current server, and Proxmox on the second host (and then be able to run the router and Windows at the same time) however I would have to look into this.

Specs for the server:

i3 4150 16 GB non-ECC RAM Intel i350-t4 NIC 7 3TB drives 1 1TB (OS) drive

Second box:

i5 650 6GB DDR3 non-ECC no HDD (possibly 250GB SSD)

Note: Just tested (as I wasn't sure) but when rebooting the Proxmox host, the raid arrays get messed up in OMV and have to reinitialize (I do not lose data on a mirror, but will probably lose data on any other array). It looks like my 2 options are therefore ZFS on Proxmox (and setting up shares manually). Free download lagu rihanna feat chris brown birthday cake. Or switching it up and putting FreeNAS directly on the primary machine, and running Proxmox on the secondary machine.

I would love some advice, thanks!
